I did something like that while working at Hewlett Packard in Colorado Springs. The folks on the production line, some distance away from my desk, would play the rock music on their radios rather loudly, so I got an RF signal generator and an audio signal generator. I made a dipole antenna about 5' long with a BNC connector and some wire and connected that to the output of the RF signal generator with some RG-58 BNC cables. I connected the output of the audio signal generator to the FM input of the RF signal generator and set it for 1 kHz. I then tuned the RF signal generator until I heard a raucous 1 kHz tone (I overmodulated the RF signal generator compared to the FM standard), at which point the radio was turned down. One time after having done that, I went to talk with the guy with the radio. I said, "I'd like to make a deal with you." The guy perked up. So I said gently, "Would you please turn your radio down?" The guy was very cooperative and did turn down the radio. One of his coworkers then said, "So what's the deal?" I said, "If you will keep the radio turned down, I won't jam it again." I had no more problems.
